We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this attractive two-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a desirable position within the highly regarded St Marys Avenue and represents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking to create a home tailored to their own taste and specification.
Requiring modernisation throughout, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged entirely over one level, complemented by a good-sized south-east facing rear garden, generous driveway parking and a detached garage.
The accommodation is approached via a welcoming entrance hall, with two well-proportioned bedrooms positioned towards the front of the property.
The inner hallway provides access to a shower room, separate WC and useful storage.
Positioned to the rear is a generous living/dining room, offering ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining area, while enjoying an outlook towards the garden.
A separate fitted kitchen leads through to a utility room, which in turn provides direct access to the rear garden. Outside, the property is equally appealing.
The good-sized south-east facing rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by established shrubs and mature planting, creating an attractive setting with plenty of scope for a new owner to landscape and personalise.
A greenhouse and useful outbuildings provide additional practicality.
To the front, the bungalow is set back behind an established garden, with a long gated driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles and continuing to the detached garage.
Further benefits include a power point to the driveway and solar panels to the roof.
St Marys Avenue is a highly regarded residential turning, conveniently positioned for local amenities and schools, together with access to Shenfield Broadway and mainline railway station.
Combining a sought-after location with a detached design, generous outside space, outbuildings, garage and parking, this is a rare opportunity to modernise and create an individual home to suit the incoming purchaser's requirements.
